Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

Robert Henri’s classic is often referred to as the Bible for artists, and it lives up to its reputation. The Art Spirit manages to transcend technical lessons and strikes at the core of what it means to be an artist.


Salter’s writing is like a tide: spare, then lyrical, but constantly flowing, with unbelievable grace, down a page. He captures the experiences of fighter pilots with all the precision and beauty of books about lovers.


Lindsay Cummings’s debut definitely deserves to be towards the top of the list of darkest dystopians. The brisk pacing of the short chapters alternating points of view keeps the suspense high and the body count even higher.


No one else writes like Nell Zink. Her dialogue is infinitely sharper than real life, and she manages to turn racism, sexism, classism & Southern history into rich veins of pitiless, yet breezy comedy.


National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward’s memoir about the black men who died too soon in her life injects some much-needed perspective and humanity into the larger narrative about systemic racism, sexism, and classism.


Doerr, who received the 2015 Pulitzer Prize, writes with an exacting lyricism. His vivid imagery is astounding, especially when a blind protagonist describes the beauty of shells and sea by sense rather than sight.


Zambreno’s novel diverges from melodramatic & comedic stories about messy young women’s lives, instead offering a disturbingly recognizable depiction of the quiet ways the 20’s identity crisis manifests.
